Will malicious attachments in incoming emails be detected?

[Ryan]

Hi All,  

I am new to Jira, so I appreciate your knowledge. 

I would like to share my email for my JSM, to create new issues or ask questions, with the public.  Being security minded, I am aware that outsiders could attempt to email malicious files as attachments.   

What security measures does Jira have when an outsider sends a phishing email with a malicious attachment? Could my platform be infected if I open an attachment within it?

Thanks!

Hi @Ryan

As of today, Jira and Confluence Cloud do not have a built-in feature for scanning attachments to prevent malicious files.

However, an existing feature request ticket is available at:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-73340

Thank you.
